This is good vegan thai at a reasonable price. It shares a space with another place called Sushi Vegan, I'm sure you can guess what they do. Despite the shockingly uncreative names, I really love coming here. It's all really delicious with generous portion sizes too. Expect VERY casual vibes, they have both indoor and outdoor tables but you'll get the food on a paper plate with plastic utensils. My only complaint is they don't offer free water. You have to pay for a water bottle instead. read more

I came here on a Saturday for lunch with a friend (neither of us are vegan but she has a strict dairy allergy and also a garlic allergy) following several recommendations for this spot. We parked in the lot behind Thai Vegan. Understandably, we realized the garlic allergy would cause some issues regarding ordering but they are very strict on no customizations and almost entirely no alterations from their menu even if it was just removing the parts that contained garlic?? For this, I would not say this is an allergy friendly place. There is limited indoor and outdoor seating and because its quite popular, you very well might have to take your food to-go. Pad Thai 3/5, this was just okay. The price is decent and it is a LARGE portion, I ate 1/2 for lunch and took 1/2 to-go for lunch the following day. Shrimp spring rolls (swap from Vegetable Spring Rolls) 4/5, my friend opted for this and since they couldn't do plain veggies (sans garlic per her allergy), we swapped it entirely for soy based shrimp. She quite liked this alongside its peanut sauce but we had to go back and forth to order this in a way that was without garlic and therefore wouldn't harm her. read more

Thai Vegan - Pad Thai Noodle - Thai Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Finally got around to trying this place and I thought it was good! The prices are somewhat reasonable, menu has decent amount of options, and the pineapple curry I tried was very fresh and tasty. Interior is small and there is some seating set up outside. I'd love to be back to try some more! read more

This is based in togo order. I came here for the first time and it was the server was nice and took my order fast. There are sears outside and a few seats inside. I ordered TOFU VEGETABLE SOUP which was pretty good. And I ordered PAD THAI. This was ok. I think it's missing some flavor. The first couple of bites it tastes ok but lost the flavoring after. This why I have a 4 star. read more

This is what we call bang for your buck. I ordered pad Thai, chow mein, and tofu spring rolls and the bag was like 6 pounds. HUGE portion sizes for such decent pricing you can't find anywhere else. The flavor of the Pad Thai was a bit lacking. I could tell it was Pad Thai but the flavor could be much stronger. Decent chewiness to the rice noodles. They are a bit wider than the typical noodles I've had with pad thai. The tofu spring rolls were like burritos. They were okay. Loosely wrapped. Mostly vegetables and a bit of soft tofu. The sauce is coconut peanut, I believe. Not sure if I would get it again despite the solid portion. Note for the online ordering system...I ordered for the first time online using Beyond Menu which was what I was linked to via google. I arrived when my order was to be ready and the lady was super confused and proceeded to scroll up on my phone to see what platform I used. She then checked her phone and went "ah! Beyond menu!" and may have pretended to check with the kitchen and said it wasn't ready yet. It didn't seem like they even looked at that online ordering system. So I had to wait an additional 10-15 minutes since they didn't even see the online order. So be wary if you order online. I would probably call in the future instead. Overall, this is a solid place for huge portions and budget pricing. Not the best tasting and flavorful food, but good enough and you truly can't beat the price/portion ratio. read more

I ordered the Pad Thai and it wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. I appreciated all the color from the toppings when it was served, but was disappointed that that was really all the toppings/mix ins (tofu, carrot, cabbage, etc)- it was mainly just tons of noodles. The flavor was present, but lacking. I'd still go back and try another dish since I know this place is well liked, but I wouldn't get the Pad Thai again. Small inside, few outdoor seating options, good price for the quantity of food. read more

Came here Sunday ready to eat after the Pikmin X Hot Girl Walk and was very taken aback! The pad see ew was AMAZING and the portions are so generous. Couldn't believe I could find this in Santa Monica. I'm going to be making the trek down here more often. It does get quite a bit warm inside the restaurant, but they do have a back portion with great seating to sit down and help cool yourself off. read more

Thai Vegan - Soy Sauce Noodle (Pad See Ew) - Thai Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Even coming back 7 years later, the pad thai is still just as chewy and delicious as I remember it. Prices have increased to $12 for pad thai, but each takeout box is at least 5 pounds. Big portions as always! Inflation elsewhere has made everything incredibly expensive, so it's refreshing to see prices like this. Food came out quickly too. read more

The food was super tasty. We got pad kee mow, masaman curry, papaya salad and fresh rolls. The pad kee mow-mint noodles and the masaman curry were so deeply tasty with complex and bright flavors. I would definitely go back. My only complaint- they don't serve water. You have to buy a plastic bottled water for a buck. Weird read more

I've been coming here for well over 10 years and I am finally leaving a review because I finally took a picture of all the yummy food we ate. Whenever we come we always get papaya salad and green curry, must gets!!! and the other dishes we always change around, I do enjoy their pad Thai but I love their spicy mint noodle more! And pineapple friend rice is great. Everything is flavorful and they give you a lot of food. You order at the window and then get a buzzer to pick up your food at the side door when it's ready. their are plenty of tables to sit at in the space and they have a lot of trinkets and stuff for sale around the place. read more

Finally took the time to grab dinner from here I got the Vegetable Tofu Fried Rice with added chicken tofu and beef tofu and I got to say it was worth the short wait. The rice was very fluffy and moist, loved the vegatables in there, the chicken was buttery, soft like a little pillow, and the beef had this yummy sweet nutmegy flavor. Cute little restaurant and couple two person tables and a bigger dining table further in. The also have outside seating. Great prices and the Thai tea was very good also, definitely got to come back to try their Spicy Fried Rice. read more

Thai Vegan - Vegetable Tofu Fried Rice, Steamed Soy Beef, Steamed Soy Chicken, Thai Iced Tea - Thai Near Me - Santa Monica, California

I took my food to go, so I can't say much about the ambiance rather than the place being pretty small/having limited seating and you having to come and get your food once it's ready (you don't have a server bring it to you). Wait time - I went on a Thursday and ordered ahead through grubhub, and still had to wait around 40 minutes to get my food (I didn't have a big order either). I have a feeling they forgot and didn't start working on it until I got their attention and asked about my order. Pad Thai - pretty good, but not outstanding, nothing out of the ordinary. If I went back, I'd probably get something else. Fried Dumplings - by itself, they are pretty bland, but the sauce definitely brings in more flavor. I liked the variety of veggies and vegan meat in filling too. read more

This spot quickly became one of my go-tos in Santa Monica. I'm not even fully vegan, but the flavors here are so solid I don't miss anything. The menu is full of comforting Thai classics with a fresh, plant-based twist--everything feels thoughtfully made, not just "substitute" versions. Highly recommend the yellow curry and the pad kee mao. Portions are generous, and you can actually taste the individual ingredients--not just heat and sauce like at some places. Also, shoutout to the staff: super friendly and welcoming every time I've been. Casual vibe, clean space, quick service. Great for takeout too if you're headed to the beach. Definitely worth checking out whether you're vegan or just into good food. read more

I love going here as I know I will be satisfied every time with delicious vegan Thai food. It's a place that has no frills so don't expect anything remotely close to fancy. You pick up your food at the window and find your own table. But the food hits the spot at a fair price. I usually either get a pad Thai or a green curry with Thai tea. All so good. There's also a vegan sushi spot in the next stall, so you can have both cuisines at the same time. Love. read more

This place has really fallen off flavor wise, it's just a lot more bland, but that may work for some people. The service is not bad, and the ambiance is okay, but the food just doesn't deliver anymore. Here are the dishes I tried this time: It's been a while since I've been there, but here are the dishes that stood out for me: 3.5/5 - Panag (the red spicy) tofu curry: had a little bit of spice and flavor, not that bad, but still pretty disappointing given the fact there are so many good Thai spots in LA. 3/5 - Pad See Ew (called the Soy Sauce Noodles here): lacking in any real flavor, but not a bad portion for the price. 2.5/5 - Spicy Fried Rice: nothing spicy about it, very basic, would not recommend. Maybe the pineapple fried rice is better? Food: 3/5 Service: 3/5 Ambiance: 3/5 Value: 3.5/5 Overall: 3/5 read more

Tiny little place that shares the space with another restaurant so if you plan to eat there, there is limited casual seating. Wait time You place an order and wait for the food. I ordered the soy sauce noodles with soy chicken to-go which screamed for flavor. The noodles were very bland, I was lucky that I packed some extra soy sauce and chili oil just in case which made it just a little better. The noodles were stuck together in clumps, I wish they were separated more during cooking. On the plus side, the quantity was huge - easy to feed 2! read more

Do not buy any of the snacks or foods they have displayed at their registers. Unfortunately it is VERY OLD, hard and stale and expired items that seems to have been displayed for a very long time. I bought a bag of plantains hoping it would be good but when I got home to eat it, it was disgusting and tasted awful. The solidified oil that I was fried in had aged horribly and tasted bad. I don't live in the area so unfortunately was not able to try it before leaving their place. I should have tried it there and returned it if I could. I learned my lesson. Never buy if it has no label or expiration. read more

The OG vegan thai spot! Easy, reliable, and delicious with a large variety of dishes. My favorites include the pad thai, pad see yew, green curry, yellow curry, panang curry, fresh spring rolls, peanut sauce, mango sticky rice, and thai tea. Can't go wrong! Happy to see they have opened up so many other locations! read more

Great portions for the price! Quirky place, which is fun. Only reason I didn't give a five was because my dish lacked a bit of flavor, but it was still good and I'd come again! Also, when I ask for Thai spicy, normally people brush me off and assume I can't handle it. They didn't go easy on the spice level and I'm grateful for that read more

The Westside's vegan Thai food gem, rivaling Vegan House Thai Bistro in Hollywood. Ordered on a delivery app, and the food was phenomenal. I have tried several vegan options in this area, but they all suck because they lack flavor AND are more expensive!!! Not only is Vegan Thai's food LEGIT, their prices are the best. Each entree is only ~$10, which is a great deal compared to other Thai restaurants that sell their subpar noodles for $15-20. I highly recommend the Pad Thai, Soy Sauce Noodles, Pineapple Fried Rice, and Tom Kha Soup. Also, I love that this is an all-vegan restaurant! Will be coming back for more. read more

This is a pretty unsuspecting place when you walk by. They have a order at counter style, with self service for food/utensils. Given the price and location (Santa Monica), this place was amazing for portion and quality! The pad Thai was a clear winner, with the fresh rolls being quite good as well. We felt that the panang curry was just OK, definitely not as good as the other items we ordered. Will be back if I'm in LA again read more

My favorite vegan Thai in LA! It's so flavorful and fresh and I love that I can take it to go. The Pad Thai was my favorite.

PLEASE PERMANENTLY CLOSE THIS HORRIBLE RESTAURANT!!! The food and service are absolutely disgusting! The "fried" rice options are poorly prepared, disgustingly mushy, bland in taste and poorly presented. The service is beyond horrible with rude, unwelcoming and disengaged staff that completely ignore you when you enter. Couldn't eat more than two bites of this nasty food, tossing a full plate of the garbage meal right into the trash can where it belonged. Very sad experience. Virtually ALL vegan thai restaurants we have eaten at in the past have been nothing short of amazing. read more

I am only reviewing their food and service, and not the ambience or seating. My daughter and I stumbled on this place yesterday, and could not believe how good it was! It's such a little hole in the wall, that shares a space with a vegan sushi counter, that we couldn't have anticipated it's deliciousness. We got the pad thai and yellow curry, and agreed that both were the best we've ever had. There were amazing vegetables in the yellow curry. That's exactly how it should be! I hate going places, and only having a few chunks of tofu and potato in it. Thai Vegan puts squash, zucchini, carrots, and other veggies that work perfectly in the curry. Same goes with the pad thai. It had zucchini slices, and other vegetables I never thought would work, but that turned out to be amazing. On top of that, the woman that works there was an absolute doll. She was very sweet, easy to communicate with, and quite generous. I wanted to go back today, but didn't have time. I will, however, definitely be going back soon, and taking my friends with me. read more

I have been wanting to try this place out for YEARS, and I finally got the opportunity last night after a Crossfit workout :) It was a fantastic experience, nice casual/chill spot with excellent food! We ordered the tofu satay, massaman curry, and the stir fried veggies with tofu- all the dishes were fantastic and affordable too; yay! I walked over from parking up the street, as parking seems extremely limited directly in front (same issue really for all of the Main St. establishments). This is perfect for a fast, casual meal!

Thai Vegan - Clockwise from top: Massaman Tofu Curry, 5 Pieces Tofu Satay, Stir-Fry Mixed Vegetable and Tofu - Thai Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Food was pretty great and tasty. It is well seasoned and tasty. The dumplings were particularly delicious! But the massanan curry could have done with a bit of extra salt or refining. The flavor was there but it didn't have the same pop of deliciousness as some different Thai places where I got the same curry, but it was still pretty decent. I got the food to go so they seem to have a nice shared outdoor seating area in the little market square they have. The area looks pretty cute. I would still recommend this place since I rate it 7/10 which is pretty good but I reserve 8/10 and above for amazing mouthwatering food that you would want to call home and any of your friends to come eat at. I ordered to go and the food came sealed and ready on time. Service was normal, they didn't miss anything and brought our food to the outdoor seating so thank you. read more
